Now, why do engines all turn in the same direction?

I suspect that with a new cam, some timing work (might require new
computer), and perhaps some fresh dynamic balancing, most engines could
run in the opposite direction perfectly happily.

And this crock about not being efficient in the southern hemisphere?
Oooh, boy.

The coriolis effect, as I vaguely recall, is basically due to the fact
that things that are north and south of each other are travelling at
slightly different relative speeds, which due to inertia results in
fluids moving in the vertical dimension eventually forming spiral shapes
(hurricanes, water draining in a funnel, etc.)

did you find this on the "pseudoscience" web site?
